He wears a zoot suit with a reet pleat   Drives a ?36 Cord with a rumble seat   Now he?s a, Lord, he's a jitterbug   Scare the letters off a highway sign      He drinks beer and eats beanies   Chases it down with ol' Thunderbird wine   Carries brass knuckles and a .44   Runs a loan shark business and a Mary Jane store      He?s a, he's a jitterbug; keeps movin?, don?t sit still   If the law don?t get him, some gun-totin? irate husband will   Oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, jitterbug, jitterbug      One day in September he stepped out of his Cord   Into the street to face a bullet spittin? Ford   Now he?s jitterbug, just a name in the news   Said, "He finally paid the price, he finally paid his dues"      Jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug   Jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug
